# Lebanon education crisis amid Israel-Hezbollah conflict > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/lebanon-education-crisis-amid-israel-hezbollah-conflict > Updated: 2026-09-09T18:10:02.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Lebanon is preparing to resume the public school year on September 15, despite significant infrastructure damage and mass displacement resulting from the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Reports indicate that hundreds of schools have been affected, with approximately 340 damaged and 30 destroyed. Many remaining facilities are currently serving as collective shelters for displaced populations, including families in southern regions like Tyre, Nabatieh, and Bint Jbeil. This dual use of buildings as both classrooms and shelters is expected to compromise educational quality and capacity. While the Ministry of Education is planning to consolidate displaced families to ensure students have seats, and is considering flexible options such as remote learning, humanitarian organizations and UNESCO have expressed concern. Officials warn of potential long-term consequences, including severe learning loss and the risk of a “lost generation,” if rapid rehabilitation and psychosocial support are not implemented. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-09: Lebanon schools to reopen amid conflict and displacement Lebanon plans to reopen schools on September 15, but conflict-related damage and the use of many buildings as shelters for displaced families threaten to disrupt education and reduce learning capacity. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lebanon-schools-to-reopen-amid-conflict-and-displacement ### 2026-08-31: Lebanon prepares to reopen schools amid ongoing displacement Lebanon prepares to reopen schools on September 15, even as thousands of displaced people continue to shelter in public buildings due to the ongoing conflict and stalled political negotiations. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lebanon-schools-face-crisis-as-displaced-families-continue-to-use-them-as-shelters --- Cite as: Lebanon education crisis amid Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
